Danger level
Avalanche Problem
Gliding snow
Individual gliding avalanches are possible.
On extremely steep grassy slopes gliding avalanches are possible from midday. They are rather small. Areas with glide cracks are to be avoided.
Shady slopes: The old snowpack will be generally stable.
In steep terrain there is a danger of falling on the hard snow surface.

Snowpack
>
The old wind slabs have bonded well with the old snowpack in all aspects.
Shady slopes: The snowpack consists of faceted crystals and its surface has a crust.
Sunny slopes: The surface of the snowpack will freeze very little and will already soften in the late morning.
Above the tree line there are 30 to 50 cm of snow, and even more in some localities. At high altitudes and in high Alpine regions snow depths vary greatly, depending on the infuence of the wind. At low altitude hardly any snow is lying.

Tendency
Saturday: The danger of gliding avalanches will persist.
